Delete unnecessary assets

Updated January 17, 2019 13:42

What's in it for you

When assets are no longer relevant to any of your users, you can delete them from your library. However, if your asset is outdated and you only want to replace it with a newer version, you should update the file instead of deleting it. The big advantage of updating instead of deleting a file is that all asset tags and properties are preserved and automatically associated with the updated version of the asset.

Note: When you remove an asset from the library, it is moved to the Trash section. There you can still restore the deleted files or delete them permanently.

Deleting an asset won't change the reports. If you permanently removed a file today, it will still show up in the reports of a previous period.
